Merry. Merry To You All!

This is what I've been up to this week.

I wanted to make some

ornaments for my little white tree I bought after Christmas last year. I am in a Marie Antionette Round Robin and I wanted to make some girlie, frilly, sparkly ornaments for MY tree. I had some embossed wallpaper and I layered sheet music, scrapbook paper, lace, ribbon, glitter and jewels! I had so much fun I made a bunch more to give my girlfriends at work! I will take a photo of my pretty little tree so you can see how it all looks!

About Me

I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature.
I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom.
I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
